These days, I’ve been spending time teaching classes, helping run ArtsTech in NYC, and running my own agency. I take a good amount of time doing competitor analysis, and I’m always curious how other agencies operate.
In this post, you’ll see a collection of design agency websites which show you how larger agencies and firms are presenting themselves to potential clients. When choosing a firm to do a project, it’s important that you feel confident in the type of work they do. These agencies definitely inspire me to do better work. I’m just glad that there’s this kind of solid work out there!
This Summer, Elastic City (one of our recently launched projects), is giving walks throughout New York City. But these are not your typical tourist walks. These walks are led by artists. Todd Shalom, the founder of Elastic City, realized the idea while suffering from altitude sickness in Cusco, Peru.
The walks intend to make its audience active participants in an ongoing poetic exchange with the places we live in and visit. Artists are commissioned by Elastic City to create their own walks. These walks tend to focus less on providing factual information and more on heightening our awareness, exploring our senses and making new group rituals in dialogue with public space in the city.
The walks have been featured in TimeoutNY, WNYC, Wallstreet Journal, Gothamist, and other publications.
